Are Amazon Prime Day deals worth it? Here’s our analysis of top gadgets on sale today
Since its inaugural exclusive-to-prime members sale in 2015, Amazon Prime Day has been on shoppers’ list of sales to attend. During last year’s two-day event, Amazon said customers bought 375 million items worldwide, dubbed its biggest Prime Day event.
This year, as the retail giant looks to sell more products on its platform, we analysed select gadgets that are going on sale for Prime customers. The Hindu scoured the platform to see which products were worth buying. We picked a clutch of in-demand devices and compared their sales prices against the regular list price on the retailer’s site.
In addition to these Prime Day early deals, users with SBI or ICICI cards as well as Amazon Pay may be able to avail further benefits and discounts at the time of purchase.

Here are some deals on electronics that users can explore.
However, it’s important to note that not all discounts are equal, and some are just a few rupees or so lower than the price non-Prime members would pay for the exact same product or device. In addition to this, check the MRP of the product to see if the discount is worth the price of an Amazon Prime subscription.
